Now for all you naysayers.
As far as I am concerned, I entered into a contract with both Amazon and the Author, plus any Publisher, when I bought the first part of the story. There was an unwritten promise, but obligation all the same, that I would be able to get all parts of the full story when available. I gave them money as an investment. Paying for the first part was a down payment ... as were the second and third payments. All installments if you like.
Now if that story was never completed, I would have to accept that as just bad luck. I would have to write it off as an investment loss. Crap happens and one has to be realistic and understanding, especially when it comes to authors and the creative urge.
However, the full story was completed, and there is no logical or ethical or moral grounds for them to withhold it from me.
It is clear and as simple as that.
All the other things many of you have brought up, many of them fine, are all beside the point and don't really matter. This is not a what if situation. What I could or didn't do is neither here or there.
